DVD Drivers

I recently installed a Sony DVD RW (Model DRU-840A) in my Dell 4550. According to Best Buy and Sony this DVD is a plug&Play device. However, whenever I boot my machine I'm getting a message that "New Hardware" has been installed, then i get the window to locate and load the driver. There is no driver, it's a plug and play unit. Is there anyone that can help me resolve this issue with the pop-up appearing every time i start the computer. OH, the DVD is working. I can copy files to it using Nero 8.

I have a PC running Windows XP SP2 with all patches updated. Every so often one of more of my secondary drives just disappears.It disappears suddenly while I am working on the PC. At first I thought it was a problem with a Maxtor drive I have in my PC, then I noticed that it also does it with a Seagate drive. Now I am suspecting that it might be a Windows XP or hardware problem. Help, any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot or any suggestions on what could be causing this problem, what to do to fix it? Thanks and Regards, Ted M.

Is there a way (or program) that will allow one to detemine who was logged on during a given date/time in the past? Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Shared Folders > Sessions gives you users currently logged in, and even duration for each user, but if the user has logged off, clock resets for that user.

Perfmon: Can local, can't remotely

We are a member of the local admins group and no group policies or local security policies restrict running perfmon. We can add counters when logged on to the console but not when adding counters from a remote workstation or servers. We can open an MMC and manage the machine remotely. We can open a remote registry connection and run WMI scripts from a remote machine. Just can't add counters from a remote machine. We can run perfmon against all other machines on the network from any client but just not this one. When we type \\machinename and click an object or counter, it just hourglasses. Thoughts?

WSUS & .NET updates
by Guest Freaky- 0 replies
- 84 views
Hey there, our WSUS server pushes .NET framework v3. This all is fine no problems. All recent computers however thus do not get the .NET v2 framework, I presume because v3 is backwards compatible. This on itself is no issue, but all recent computers now have an exclamation mark because they would be missing 2 updates. Both .NET v2 essential updates. The computers never tell us these updates need to be installed. I presume because there is no .NET v2 installed on it. Anyone know how to get rid of the erroneous exclamation marks? Thx
